I’m positive that a lot of voters in-game don’t even care about the poll and the repercusion of the choice made, and they just pick the first option to get the free 10 GS and be done with it.
There should be an “explain” field when you vote to see who vote by conviction and who vote for Gs. I still think people choose their preferred option, being informed or not.
" runescape for the hardcore? You got to be kidding me. RUNESCAPE was based on the BROWSER, it was MADE SPECIFICALLY for casuals. They only just recently went WoW style. "** **
Do you know why they went WoW style ?
"the player base is only about 2000 and only HALF are actually playing at any given time"
So that MUST be an example ? Sc devs aims to have a higher playerbase I hope.
"It is entirely possible, and to my mind highly probable to divide Tiers by skill, giving each an “A” queue for the stronger pilots and a “B” queue for the weaker ones."
This could be a good idea if done correctly, without having a strong division but soft one. I agree on this point + fixed tiers.
"But we are never going to have a T5 queue for people with T2 skillsets. Ever. Not in Fixed, and not in Mixed."
Currently in mixed tiers yes there is. By having lowest T5 playing against good T4 players (what currently happens). They may not have 1:1 win ratio but at east they have a few chances to have fun in it.
"I agree. I say you need to EARN your T5 ships"
I agree as well. I played something like XX hours to get it, so I earned it. (I’m personally not yet in T5).
About the poll discussion, the forum one is biased as well since the “casual/begginner” percentage is close to 0. Maybe an ingame text/video you HAVE TO read/watch before voting. This text/video would show the pros and cons of each choice. But then the video/text should be as neutral and factual as possible. This solution would also be heavy for the voters.
Udging by the help threads, we clearly do have some beginner players. Not totally new, but it seems people start coming here at around T2 to ask for advice.
I still hold to my previous complaint; if you have not experienced both matchmaking systems, you cannot truly say which is better.
I’m and old enough player to now both systems =)
Do you really think the beginners in help thread looks something else than the help thread ?

question!
You have played for the past…6 months and only got 350 battles?
…
By my calculations that comes to approx. 52 battles per month, or one battle every two weeks.
I was wrong, it is more like 6-8 months…

Your mathematic skills are amazing… :beee:
350 / 6 = ~58 per month
350 / 12 = ~29 per 2 weeks
it would still be around 2 battles a day, not 1 per 2 weeks.
But it is really not a lot.

And thats why his opinions were more for the causal player to win MORE then the dedicated player…right? :facepalm:

Makes you wonder about his “comulative” percentages in his overwiev…
I joined the 4th march. and since battle count doesn’t count PVE yes that’s not a lot of battle per week. And there were one month or two when I didn’t play (you guys don’t have any holidays ?).
Yes this is one or two battles PVP + one or two PVE per day that’s approximatively the amount of time I can play after house chores, shopping, dinner, sleeping etc…
“And thats why his opinions were more for the causal player to win MORE then the dedicated player…right?”
Yep, is that a problem for your “elite” community that only them have right to talk about what should be done in the game ?
Specifically, look at the correlation between % voters in favour of options 2 and 4. With option 2, the forum average is 12.985% between English and Russian, which is only slightly higher than the in-game poll. Likewise, Option 4 is not a million miles out from the forum versions.
What is telling is how many people in game are apparently happy with the current system, yet can’t be arsed signing up for the forums to confirm that support. This to me smacks of the uninformed voter – the “I don’t care” group. I seem to recall that was an option on the original version, and I honestly suspect that a large chunk of the so-called “supporters” of the current model are people who will happy keep playing no matter what is done.
If there had been a fifth option, I suspect the vote would be more clear-cut in favour of Fixed Tiers.
You know the worst thing about this? The results are gonna be skewed so only the in-game voters count “because that’s what the players want!”…
I set off to work at 8am and I’m still working now nearly 12 hours later. I am allowed to have my brain turned off!
Matchmaker totally works right…
(It ended in 10 kills, all ships lost…)

if you are still working, you are not allowed to, actually :))

what exactly is the problem there?
I don’t know, maybe a full T4 R12 squad in T4…
Last time I was in a T4 R11 squad we only fought T5’s, no T4’s anywhere…
I call shenanigans

what about the squad on your side? i know ESB were running 4 man over there, but there is no guarantee NOVA wasn’t as well
Fair point.
Though with their amount of fail, I would not be surprised if they lost so many matches they would get placed into T3… >.<
You mean purposely tanking there stats to gain better MM queves?
